Should I ask my doctor about sleep apnea during my pregnancy?
Posted by: Alan in Obstructive Sleep Apnea, tags: About, Apnea., Doctor, During, pregnancy, Should, Sleep
I currently 19 weeks pregnant and things are going well. I never was diagnosed with sleep apnea but I know from what my hubby has told me and many other symptoms I have it. I was just wondering if I should ask my doctor about sleep apnea and check for a resolution during my pregnancy? Thanks so much

Yeah you should talk to your doctor about it. That’s what they’re there for..to help you. Plus you want to make sure your getting as much rest as possible especially before your little one comes. Good luck!

You should definitly mention this to your doctor, as it can get progressively worse during your third trimester. And with the stopping and starting of breathing, it is unhealthy for your oxygen to drop while pregnant.

Hope it helps! And congratulations on the baby.

I would definitely mention it to the dr. They may not do anything, and it may not be a big concern, but it is always better to be safe! Congrats!!
